Did you know- there are many health benefits that you can receive from eating Strawberries? (Healing Fruits series)

A great percentage of the world's commonly consumed foods are essential antioxidant sources. However, researchers have currently ranked the top 50 sources of antioxidants among commonly consumed foods and discovered strawberries to be exceptionally amazing. Strawberries turned out to be the best fruit source of vitamin C, a key antioxidant.

Each serving of strawberries, approximately 1 cup or 144 grams contains 141.1% vitamin C, 28% manganese, 11.5% fiber, 8.6% folate, 8.6% iodine, 6.2% potassium, 4.6% magnesium, 3.9% vitamin K, 3.7% omega-3 fats, and 2% calories.
​
Apart from raspberries, cranberries, and blackberries, strawberries turned out to be one among the highly nutritious fruits. We often think upon hearing its name that strawberry is a very ordinary fruit. In fact, the antioxidant property of strawberries is anything, but ordinary. Strawberries can be stored for up to 2 days without any significant loss of polyphenol and vitamin C phytonutrients.

Manganese is a cofactor in the antioxidant enzyme activity of superoxide dismutase, making it a pivotal antioxidant. However, the phytonutrient content of strawberry is what made this fruit popular.  Most of the phytonutrients present in strawberries function not only as antioxidants but also as anti-inflammatory nutrients.

With strawberry's plethora of phytonutrients which include phenolic acids, terpenoids, flavonols, ellagitanins, and anthocyanins, we can only expect that more and more researches that focus in the anti-inflammatory capacities of strawberries will be conducted. A study has shown that daily strawberry intake can improve a number of blood markers for chronic inflammation. 

The phytonutrients work together to provide cardiovascular benefits also. Strawberries can reduce the activity of the hyperactive enzyme that increase the risk of developing high blood pressure called the angiotensin I-converting enzyme. This enzyme is capable of lowering circulating fats levels which include LDL cholesterol and total cholesterol, and reducing lipid peroxidation or oxidation of fats.   

One cup of raw strawberries which is about 150 grams has shown to have the capability to decrease blood sugar escalations when table sugar was eaten along with them. Due to the presence of polyphenols in strawberries, the blood sugar response is being regulated.
​
Chronic inflammation and chronic oxidative stress are the common risk factors in developing cancer. Chronic oxidative stress is the lack of antioxidants and unsupported metabolism of oxygen. Since strawberries have amazing antioxidant and anti-inflammatory properties, we can only expect the fruit to have cancer-fighting capacities.  Benefits from strawberries that help combat cancer are well-documented in cases of esophageal cancer, colon cancer, cervical cancer, and breast cancer.

    Our Journey to "Oneness" 

    It is a journey and like all journeys, it is set with many moments of challenges and accomplishments. 

    But when one's heart is true and the decision is made to "be the best that one can be", then each challenge merely seems like a stepping stone, to be overcome to reach and experience new heights of existential living.

    Hope you find these notes inspiring enough to initiate your own journey...
     
    ​What else will you find here??

    Here you will find thoughts, ideas, musings and  insights which make us reflect on the nature of our life and reality. I hope that these will connect with you. 


    These articles address the various insights, lessons and at times modern-interpretations of techniques and methods of ancient wisdom (particularly Vedic Culture) and also Shamanism, Buddhism, Druid- Paganism, Sufi Islam and Taoism. 

    It tries to bring the wisdom of ancient, insightful ways to benefit a modern, evolving and conscious lifestyle.

    Frankly it brings many of the spiritual concepts to  a "real  life" level!!

    Think of this guidance as "Spirituality for the Rest of Us"... folks who  have families,  careers,  material goals & ambitions  and so on... the ones  who cannot simply extrapolate what  typical spiritual gurus and guides say, when they live special monastic lives.  


    Each one of us may have different life situations but ultimately we are all ONE life and we all go thru these myriads of situations, experiences, thoughts and feelings at some point or other in time. 

    Read along and see how these lessons, insights and guidance can help you to chalk out your own path to 'One-ness'- where you are successful, healthy and Happy.   
    ​

    Do let me know of your experiences.

    I would love to read about them and promise to respond as much as possible.
